Nimbuzz, an instant messaging application, today announced the opening up of its messenger Application Program Interface (API) for software developers.
The company has launched its Chat Buddy Developer Program (CBDP). With this initiative, Nimbuzz aims to help brands, publishers, and independent developers get access to the 90 million Nimbuzz users from across 200 countries.
The CBDP allows developers to build chat buddies across various verticals such as cricket, astrology, shopping, games, news, besides utilities such as ticketing, movie reviews, classifieds and others.
Nimbuzz has launched a separate section @http://developers.nimbuzz.com to hand hold mobile developers.
Nimbuzz has collaborated with entities such as Twitter, Wikipedia, YouTube, IMDB and others to increase their catalogue of chat buddies in the Nimbuzz App store. The company expects to add another 25 chat buddies developed by preferred partners in the next month.
“The Nimbuzz Chat Buddy Developer Program has been created with the objective of building a developer community that can benefit from the Nimbuzz user base,” said Mr Jamshed V. Rajan, Chief Product Officer,
Nimbuzz. Very soon developers on Nimbuzz will be able to monetise their chat buddies as well,” he added.
